World of Warcraft on a laptop?

Hey,
So, just bought a laptop for my birthday, pretty decent, 15.4" widescreen, 2.0 GHz processor and a built-in Radeon x1100 256mb. Problem is, my graphics card only works at 64mb and not it's full 256mb, is this because I need more RAM(512 ATM) like my friend told me?
Also, is it worth upgrading my laptop so that World of Warcraft will run smoothly, and if so could someone be so kind as to recommend what I would need to upgrade in order to make it run well?

Thankyou in advance

 

A 256MB graphics card only working at 64? Sheesh, it just might be the RAM. With integrated cards the RAM is shared with the video card, which would mean, out of your 512MB of RAM, 256MB would be for the video card and 256MB left for everything else. Your system might not have liked that.

As for WoW, I think a 256MB graphics card is enough, and if you upgrade the RAM I think it'll play decently. You can't exactly upgrade anything else besides the hard drive, depending on the brand and model.
